How much alfalfa pellets to feed a Nigerian Dwarf Goat?

As weird as it sounds, you can feed Nigerian Dwarf Goats as much alfalfa pellets as they want. We usually let our Nigerian Dwarf goats eat as much as they want until they are full and walk away. This is typically 2 buckets of Alfalfa Pellets for 4 Nigerian Dwarf Goats, but obviously this is dependent on their mood and whether they ate hay recently. If you are planning on feeding alfalfa pellets to your goat for the first time, we recommend buying a 20 or 40 pound bag of pellets, and offering 2-4 pounds of Alfalfa Pellets to each goat. If they don’t like the taste, you can explore different flavors or even add vitamins or flavoring.
